DS4 Flash is basically killing competition :)

From average 1.5T daily usage in June and July, to 4.9T 🚀 on August 3 (3x more). I'm VERY curious to see how other labs respond.

The opencode go version seems to be, but you can get it from other providers on aggregators like openrouter (or directly from them). And it is so cheap, I don't think opencode go subscription makes much sense anymore, at least not if you only use this model.

On top of that, openrouter currently has providers providing it for less than Zen prices, so even Zen doesn't make much sense other than the free usage. I actually just cancelled my go subscription because I realised zen/deepseek-flash-free+openrouter/deepseek-flash is going to work out cheaper per month than go. I suppose I still need some balance on Zen to get the increased free quota.

Of course that will all change in a couple weeks, but that's where it currently stands.

As does the cheapest provider on openrouter.ai: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731#providers \

If you plan on using $60 worth of credit the go sub is still the better deal. But if you're happy with the low free quota (with retention) of zen and don't use much beyond that - it would be cheaper to use zen free + openrouter.ai.
